Escape Plan, a review by GSyren
(From Reviews and ramblings by Gunnar on April 20th, 2014) Cirque du Freak: The Vampire's Assistant (2009), a review by addicted2dvd
Stars: John C. Reilly as Crepsley Josh Hutcherson as Steve Chris Massoglia as Darren Jessica Carlson as Rebecca Michael Cerveris as Mr. Tiny Ray Stevenson as Murlaugh Plot: Welcome to the Cirque du Freak, a traveling sideshow filled with magical creatures, misunderstood freaks, and the mysterious vampire, Larten Crepsley (John C. Reilly). Drawn to the dark, unpredictable world of the Cirque, 16-year-old Darren (Chris Massoglia) decides to trade in his ordinary life for a chance to become an immortal vampire. As Darren explores his newfound powers and faces unexpected enemies, he'll find that his existence as a memeber of the undead is filled with more challenges, suspense and fun than he ever thought possible. Based on the best-selling book series and co-starring Salma Hayek, Josh Hutcherson, Ken Watanabe, and Willem Dafoe, it's a fast-paced, suspenseful journey critics call, "Imaginative!" (Peter Hall, Cinematical.com) Extras:
My Thoughts: This is one I never seen before. But with my love for all things vampires...I been wanting to check this one out since the first time I saw the trailer. It turned out to be a bit different then I was expecting. Not really a bad different.. but not really as good as I was expecting either. The movie plays with the vampire legend a bit... but that seems to be true about most vampire movies. I think the vampire legend gets changed to the story-teller's needs more so then any other. I did like the idea of the 2 different clans of vampires going to war. I also enjoyed all the different freaks that was in the movie. While I realize they didn't have time to really get into it... I would have liked to see some more on them. Maybe a bit of background info on at least some of them.From what I understand this is from a series of books. So while it did complete the storyline in this movie... it also left itself wide open for sequels. Which I hope will see eventually come out... because over-all while I was expecting a bit better... I still enjoyed the movie. My Rating Out of a Possible 5 Count: Movie Count: 1 TV Ep. Count: 0 Other Count: 0 (From Month Long Horror/Halloween Marathon: 2011 on October 1st, 2011) 2016 TV Pilot Reviews, a review by DJ DoenaKevin Can Wait Website Kevin Can Wait @ Wikipedia Kevin Can Wait @ IMDb Kevin Gable is a newly retired NYPD cop who has a typical American family and cop friends who are also retired. He plans to spend his days build a go-kart / paintball track and other fun activities. For further information, see here: Unfortunately it does not turn out as planned. His teenage daughter (Taylor Spreitler, Melissa & JoeyBones' Vincent Nigel-Murray). You can tell her parents are not pleased. To subsidize his retirement Keven had planned to rent out the garage apartment but that plan falls flat when he offers his daughter the place instead. And his buddies also have obstacles that wholly destroy his PowerPoint retirement plan. I loved Kevin James in The King of Queens (From 2016 TV Pilot Reviews on September 21st, 2016) |
